Make the Future 2018 - See Singapore's Most Futuristic Cars At A Festival With Live Gigs, Food & Games

Make the Future Singapore 2018

Have you imagined how your car will look like in the future? Well, you can get a glimpse of that from 8 to 11 March at Make the Future 2018 - a FREE event at Changi Exhibition Centre with live gigs, interactive installations and even a live race featuring futuristic cars.

Here are some highlights you won’t want to miss:

1. Watch a showdown of futuristic eco-cars at the Shell Eco-marathon Asia

Gone are the prehistoric, circa 2017 days of F1 races - these bad boys are rollin’ into town this March. Catch over 120 futuristic eco-cars battle it at out on the racecourse at ShellEco-marathon Asia, the main event headlining the festival.

These cars don’t look like anything on our roads today; they’re built with lightweight materials such as thermoplastic for energy efficiency and have sleek, streamlined bodies for minimum friction.

This eco-car is built by students from Nanyang Technological University.

Designed by more than 100 student teams from Asia Pacific and the Middle East, these cars will be put to the test to see which can travel the farthest and fastest with the least amount of fuel. Some of our local school teams such as NUS, NTU, TP, NP and more will be competing as well, so head down to show them your support!

3. Challenge your friends at DDR with a twist on the Kinetic Dance Floor

Pretty sure we all learnt at one point or another in primary school about how kinetic energy converts to electrical energy or some other sciency theory of sorts. This Kinetic Dance Floor is basically DDR with a twist, where you can drag your friends along and compete to see who can generate the most electrical energy simply by dancing.

Participants will put on headphones that’ll blast EDM so you can channel some serious clubbing vibes as you break out your best moves.

4. Relive your Tamiya racing days by building your own saltwater cars

This particular games station has a miniature racetrack simulator, kinda like a mini race course.

The rules are easy: build your own race car powered not by fuel but by saltwater and challenge your friends to see whose car zips down the track past the finish line first. The best part is you can bring your own inventions back home as souvenirs.
